Tucked in a quiet cul-de-sac, this beautifully maintained colonial offers nearly 4,000 square feet of inviting living space, an incredible wooded setting, and thoughtful updates throughout. Highlights include a fully renovated primary bath, gleaming hardwood floors, a fenced backyard retreat, and a screened porch that looks out over the serene landscape. This home welcomes you with a light-filled foyer that sets the tone for the warmth and elegance found throughout. To the right, a private study with French doors provides a quiet workspace, while to the left, the formal living and dining rooms impress with rich crown molding and a gracious flow ideal for entertaining. The heart of the home is the expansive kitchen, where a center island, stainless steel appliances including a gas range with a warming drawer and convection microwave, and a spacious pantry cater to both everyday meals and special gatherings. The adjoining breakfast area looks out over the peaceful backyard, and just beyond, the family room stuns with a vaulted ceiling, skylights, and a floor-to-ceiling white brick wood-burning fireplace. A glass-paneled atrium door opens to the screened porch with a cathedral ceiling, a perfect perch for enjoying the natural beauty that surrounds the home. Upstairs, hardwood flooring runs through the hallway and into the primary bedroom featuring a soaring cathedral ceiling, a sitting area, a walk-in closet plus a second closet, and a luxurious renovated en-suite bath. This spa-like retreat includes a double vanity, freestanding soaking tub, and jetted tile shower with frameless glass. Three additional bedrooms share a well-appointed full bath. The finished lower level adds even more living space with a family room, a bonus room with an attached full bath, and a large storage room that also offers space for use as a workshop. Walkout stairs lead to the fenced backyard where you'll find a beautifully hardscaped stone patio, along with a second stone patio with firepit connected by a charming stone walkway perfect for relaxing or entertaining under the stars. Additional updates and features include new windows throughout, basement carpeting, storm doors, ceiling fans, a natural gas line brought to the home, and key appliance upgrades such as the washer, dryer, refrigerator, dishwasher, and gas range. The chimney has been enhanced with a stainless steel insert and cap, and the backyard has been thoughtfully fenced and landscaped for beauty and privacy. Nature lovers will appreciate the nearby trails, while commuters will enjoy easy access to BWI Airport, I-95, and major hubs including Baltimore and Washington DC. With shopping and CPRA pool access close by, this home offers a seamless blend of peaceful retreat and everyday convenience.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
